A Few Autumn Beauty Picks

So my break from blogging was somehow unintentionally extended, but lets just pretend I never left shall we...

As much as I loved summer, I found myself starting to ache for those darker autumnal hues and the opportunity to whack out Rebel or Diva (MAC fiends will relate). So when september finally made an appearance, I got a little too excited about the fact that my staples would soon do a complete 180.

Top 5 Spring Nail Picks 2014

With spring come the pastels, and oh how I love the continuous trend. If you live in the not so sunny UK (like myself), sun doesn't really make an appearance till around June so till then, coats are still a tiring staple. A Pastel offering is but a way to still celebrate spring without attempting a day without the coat and thoroughly regretting the awful decision. 

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: March

Cheryl's Nude Lipstick Swatch

So this month has been hecka exciting; I finally turned the big 18 and can now do... well just about anything! To celebrate, I had a house party with friends and a big family dinner the day after.

Unfortunately, blogging is gradually going to be taking a bit of a back seat for these next 2 months as my once seemingly free schedule is being invaded by revision for A levels. It makes me toes curl in disgust just typing it. Of course I will still be posting, it'll simply be a little less frequently.

Bleurgh, anyway enough with that, on with the favourites!

Deborah Lippmann | SPRING REVERIES | Spring 2014

*PR Sample

Pastels make their mark just about every spring, and this year is certainly no different. Deborah Lippmann has released six fabulously opaque polishes in the Spring Reveries collection; all of which I'm dying to get my hands on! 

NOTD #6 : The Christmas Red

In my eyes, when Halloween has been and gone, Christmas comes rolling right in, dragging behind it the overly large winter wear and festive feeling. I absolutely love every aspect of christmas and though I hate to say it, would be nothing without the frosted weather conditions.

Manicures Of The French

Now I'm not all to sure if the french manicure actually originated from the french but it does seem a tad strange if say, the Portuguese discovered it and named it 'french'. 

However I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the humble manicure, the French manicure will almost always certainly come out on top. Nowadays, I find that acrylic nailed white tips can come off a tad too fake what with just about every girl caked with make up, dangling extensions, topped off with the over sized fake nail somewhat giving the once sophisticated manicure a negative impression. Don't get me wrong, I think acrylics can make such a difference but I do suggest not going over the top and choosing a size and length that do not match your hands. 

NOTD #3

I love love love nail art but I haven't really had time to do anything jazzy to my nails recently. This design is quite tame compared to my usual designs but I thought it went perfectly with the neutral base shade (which is still by far one of my absolute favourites!) 

This design just involves:- BARRY M Gelly Hi-shine in 'Lychee' and a Nail art pen in white

                                                                                                                      

 (from ebay) 

If you are looking for nail art pens then I highly suggest purchasing them from Ebay, you can get a bulk load of colours for a bargain-ous price!

NOTD #1

After the miraculous weather change that the UK has been having recently, I have, of course, taken advantage of the sunshine and bagged myself quite the tan

 So in order to enhance my newly bronzed skin I decided to paint my nails in a bright Coral almost orange toned red shade, perfect for the summer! 

I used Barry M's 'Coral'. I have always been a fan of Barry M nail paints and I remember it being the first vanish I bought and now in fact makes up the majority of my collection. 

So I highly recommend this shade for summer for that bright, almost neon pop of colour and just Barry M nail polishes in general!
